The television series Emergency! originally aired from January 15, 1972, to May 28, 1977. Six seasons, with a total of 122 episodes, aired, followed by six television films during the following two years.
Seeing a dire need in the community for on-the-spot medical assistance, LA County Firefighters Roy DeSoto (Kevin Tighe) and John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) attempt to convince their staunchest opponent, Rampart General Hospital's Chief of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Kelly Brackett (Robert Fuller), to support paramedic legislation. Because of his pride, Dr. Brackett ridicules field medical response by firefighters—even trained and qualified ones—as an absurd notion. Rampart's Chief Emergency Nurse, Dixie McCall (Julie London), also Roy and Johnny's mentor and friend, encourages Brackett to reconsider his stance. Their colleague, Dr. Joe Early (Bobby Troup), also lends his support to Johnny and Roy. Dixie's life is saved by paramedics after she is rendered unconscious in an accident.
Two versions of the opening credits sequence were used this season: episodes 1–4 had the original version, while episode 5 onwards had a different version. The latter version was used through the end of Season 4. The music was written, arranged and composed by Nelson Riddle.
Johnny is the victim of a hit and run driver; while in the hospital, he flirts with his physical therapist (Gretchen Corbett), whom Dixie hires, when Johnny really has a nurse (Carole Cook), who is "out to get him." The station gets a replacement who is difficult to work with. Dr. Early explains to Roy that his partner is a good paramedic at Station 51, who also needs to be a good patient at Rampart.
Note: In the final season, Drs. Brackett and Early now have the additional certification of "A.C.E.P." Ms. McCall now exchanges her occasional nurse's dress for a uniform and no longer wears a nurse's cap. Gage and DeSoto now have the designation "Firefighter PM" after their name. Robert Fuller also reduces his on-screen appearances, for the last several episodes of the final season.
The intro now includes the radio transmissions between Rampart and the paramedics and no music. The transmissions, transcribed, read as follows: Station alarm, followed by sirens, fading into:
